The Sea Kingdom
This is the uplifting opening number of the "Songs from the Sea" concept album, and one of my favourite "The Little Mermaid" songs EVER, and I'm including everything that's ever been released in the entire franchise. It sounds like a big, bold Broadway opening number and put a bright smile on my face the very first time I heard it. This track pretty much sets the stage for Ariel's world... She's curious about the land of humans while all the other merfolk are left wondering why.
Thanks to Daniel for the lyric corrections!
King Triton:
Ariel? Ariel! You've been to the surface again, haven't you?
Ariel:
Please listen father
Take note I'm very well
I meant to cause no trouble
King Triton:
Now look here, Ariel
Ariel:
I have dreams
The sun is shining
Over the ocean waves
It warms the land above us
The children laugh and play
Of life above
King Triton:
What of the danger?
You could have fallen prey
The human world is savage
Now look, you must obey
Ariel's sisters:
She has dreams
Excuse us, father
However hard you try
She'll look beyond the ocean
We'll never know just why
Of life
Chorus:
Life above the sea kingdom
How could you ask for any more than what we have
Life within the sea kingdom
You can swim the seven seas
In happiness and peace
Oh life here in the sea kingdom

Ariel:
I can't contain My secret thoughts Of life above The deep blue sea High above The ocean waves There is a life That calls me I have dreams
|
Ariel's sisters:
A day of swimming A day of having fun She'd rather be on dry land Up playing in the sun We bow to father He rules with majesty The merfolk here are happy We all enjoy the sea She has dreams

Chorus:
Life above the sea kingdom
King Triton:
How could you ask for any more than we have
Chorus:
Life within the sea kingdom
You can swim the seven seas
In happiness and peace
Life within the
Life within the
Life within the sea kingdom
